Trawling Proves Successful Off Port Amid War Demand
The Cana dian Fish & Cold Storage Company reports a third trawling attempt yielded about 75 000 pounds of fish after four days at sea. The method, in an experimental stage on this coast, is popular offshore and could flood markets with cheap fish for soldiers and civilians. Major Green says two and a half million pounds weekly could be placed with Atlantic coast buyers, with Canadians taking about one million pounds. The Cold Storage plans to expand this approach, aiming at a stronger fish trade than in the past.
